Terms of Use

1. Purpose

The AI Hiring Panel Simulator (the "Service") helps candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers practise evaluation. All outputs are AI-generated for learning purposes only and do not constitute professional HR, legal, or employment advice.

2. No employment decisions

Do not use the Service as the primary or sole basis for hiring, promotion, termination, performance evaluation, or any other employment decision. Always apply human judgement and independent verification.

3. AI limitations

Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, or reflect bias. They may include third-party material. You are responsible for verifying accuracy and rights before any use beyond personal learning.

4. Legal compliance

You are responsible for compliance with applicable laws, including the UK Equality Act 2010, GDPR and data protection law, and anti-discrimination and employment legislation.

5. Data & privacy

We operate on a zero-retention basis for uploaded CV text: processed only to generate your analysis and discarded at session end. Do not upload special category data (health, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation) or data about minors.

See our full Privacy Notice.

6. Intellectual property & licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable licence to use the Service for its intended purpose. You may keep AI outputs solely for your internal learning use, subject to third-party rights.

• Copy, extract, scrape, mirror, or redistribute the Service
• White-label, sell, or create derivative works from prompts, flows, or UI
• Reverse engineer any part of the Service

7. User content & confidentiality

You retain ownership of content you upload. You grant Stuart G. Rae Associates Limited a limited licence to process that content only to provide the Service. We treat uploaded content as confidential and do not use it to train models.

Do not upload content you are not authorised to share.

8. Prohibited uses

• Scraping, bulk exporting, rate-limit circumvention, or automated harvesting
• Unlawful, discriminatory, or infringing use of outputs
• Uploading malware or content that violates privacy or IP rights
• Uploading special category data or data about minors

9. User responsibilities

• Lawful use — comply with applicable laws and these Terms.
• Accuracy & permissions — upload only content you are authorised to share.
• Minimise personal data — avoid unnecessary personal data; remove third-party personal data unless you have permission.
• Security — keep your devices and credentials secure.
• Output handling — independently verify outputs before relying on them.
• Fair usage — respect rate limits; do not attempt to bypass technical protections.
• Reporting — notify us promptly of suspected misuse or security concerns at webmaster@stuartrae.biz.

You represent and warrant that you have the right to upload the content you submit and that your use will not violate any law, confidentiality obligation, or third-party rights. You agree to indemnify Stuart G. Rae Associates Limited from losses arising out of your unlawful use of the Service, to the extent permitted by law.

10. Data processing & transfers

Stuart G. Rae Associates Limited acts as data controller for the website and as processor when analysing CVs on your instruction. Anthropic acts as a sub-processor. Data may be transferred outside the UK/EEA with appropriate safeguards (UK IDTA/EU SCCs). See our Privacy Notice.

11. Security

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures including transit encryption and zero-retention design. No system is perfectly secure; secure your own devices and networks.

12. Retention & deletion

CV text is processed in memory and discarded after the session. Logs exclude CV content. If you believe data was stored in error, contact webmaster@stuartrae.biz.

13. Warranties & liability

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Stuart G. Rae Associates Limited is not liable for decisions or actions taken based on outputs, including discrimination, wrongful hiring or termination, or non-compliance claims.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms or to protect the Service.
